>Description:
            This is my first try on 5.3-release. I am running an AMD64 notebook w/ uniwill motherboard.
      On attempted boot from the install CD, I get
"panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr ffffffffa5620000" followed by a reboot after fifteen seconds. This is all while it's detecting hardware and before it gets to a shell, the install program, or anything else useful.
      I've had several successful installs on this machine before with the 5.x-branch, including a few with the 5.3 betas.
>How-To-Repeat:
       Try to boot on an AMD64 machine from the disc 1 of 5.3-release.
